Bruce Doane Sr. had a vision — to create a first class training camp for amateur umpires. This vision has been a reality since 1991.
Bruce established this camp that now turns out over 100 umpires annually. It was his leadership that brought campers, instructors, players and administrators together to find common ground. That common ground was the betterment of amateur baseball through umpire improvement.
